I have been waiting all morning with the cameras set up, and then when the big moment came it was not where I expected, hence the brief video. The flight path to Moffett Field is right out off of the deck to the East (I have seen Air Force One fly by for years), the Shuttle flew just a bit North though so we were caught off guard.

I'll never forget when they had the old shuttle on display at the New Orleans worlds fair. It is MUCH bigger when you are standing ten foot from it, especially when you are a kid. The little windows just looked out of scale.

I have been in the static display in Houston, but this was much, much better!
